Anyone use this on a Suzuki OEM luggage rack with a wide backrest? Pics and feedback?

The bag itself is nice, lots of room and pockets for different gear. However the straps would not fit around my backrest. The company offers extension straps but I used 2 rubber coated, bendable bungee cords from Auto Zone on the bottom and 2 flat bungee cords from the handles of the bag to the chrome trim. The flat cords make an ex across by backrest which turned out ok. I have a Yamaha 950 with a Mustang touring seat and a wider sissy bar with pad. Sorry, no pics.

i'm a geezer, so my experience may be outdated. i have two racks, one on my touring bike and the other on my grocery/town bike. i did use a rack trunk on one trip, but i didn't like the way stuff shifted around. my sleeping bag fits very well on the front rack ( i secure with cutup inner tubes), freeing up a pannier. on my grocery bike, i tried small panniers once, but didn't need that much room. i use the front rack for things like a gallon of milk or toilet paper (12 pack rides fine). once installed, i have had no problems with either rack.

I looked at pics of Suzuki 700 KingQuad and I think it should fit. Mine is on a Polaris 800 which has a flat rear rack. The Kolpin rack has a 1 7/8" gap between the drop section and the section that sits on the back rack (full width of Kolpin rack). I think that turned up section on yours should fit in that slot. I'd send a pic of mine but not sure how to. Agree also with the other folks...find a longer tongue if plan to pull a spreader or something like that. This has been a great buy for hauling stuff on our small farm.

I don't use the extra bar. I've only used it for a few trips, but so far, so good. I just turn the back wheel more superiorly so the bar sits on the rack. I suppose shifting might be more of an issue on longer trips.

No way to be sure without having the actual bike and trying - I can say this, it is not a custom fit and is fairly adaptable - I think the 'key' to successful fit: do you have about 16 inches between the back of the drivers seat and a passenger back rest for clearance for the bag itself? - the rest of the fit is flexible - there is a velcro pad with straps that wrap around the passenger seat - this sets on the velcro pad to provide basic support - then at least two straps fasten to the bag and 'somewhere' on the frame of the motorcycle -

Not sure on the Mongoose, but this rack fit perfectly on my 26" Trek Gary Fisher Tassajara mountain bike. HOWEVER, it did not hold the Ortlieb Classic Backroller bags securely and I ended up returning this rack and buying the Topeak Super Tourist Tubular Bicycle Trunk Rack DX for disc brake mounts instead (which works great with the Ortlieb panniers). So it also depends on the bags you are planning on using with it.

Short answer, no. The Driver backrest and this are two different animals. Your driver backrest attaches below the seat. The Sissy bar/luggage rack rely on the bolts that attach the chrome strip along the side of the bike (just below the seat). They attach by changing out the hardware that attaches that trim piece.

This is pretty ironic I bought this bike rack first then noticed this question and purchased the IBERA 5. Recieved this one first and tried it on my disk brake bike. It fit perfect. I mean PERFECT. So the real question is do you wanna try it.

It should work. The main difference is that it has standoffs which give clearance for disc brakes. If you don't have disc brakes you will be better served by a conventional rack as it will keep your bags closer to your center of gravity. The entirety of the black part shown in the photo is welded together. The only removable / adjustable parts are the stays to the seat and they are still needed.

Does not include the backrest. I won't pay the price for that pad. As to what models it will fit on, it's all about the rack. If your bike has the same rack as the models listed, then it will fit. I have an R1200RT. Fits like it was made for it.

please try a regular one cycle rack from a different. If so, then this should work as long u have gap between the glass and trunk door border(above the number plate) to latch the top two hooks, u should be good.

I'm with jerrym. I hauled two bikes from west coast to east coast with no problems at all. Just be careful when you install it. If you tighten the u-bolts to tight it "crushes" the thin bumper just enough so you can't get the stinky slinky in/out. By the way, I have a mountain bike and a hybrid bike.

They worked fine on a 26 inch wheel. Get a frame that's wider for the disk breaks. I used Ibera PakRak Bicycle Touring Carrier Plus+ IB-RA5 (with disk brake mounts) Frame-mounted for heavier top & side loads and it works great... Just finished a bike camping trip and my rack was by far the best and sturdiest,, the racks about $30 Panniers have plenty of room..

I have mine on the tourpak luggage rack but the straps are very adjustable so I don't see any reason it won't fit especially if you have a backrest.

Hi! Unfortunately this rack will not fit on the bike you are referring to. Thanks.

i put it on a 2014 Odyessy with a rack, but it was too short to set on both front and back cross racks so it would have worked just as well with just the side rails. What do you have to fasten it to?

Yes! This awesome bag fits on the back of my Honda Shadow seat which is tiny. It would mount very securely to about any rack.
